Barneys CEO to Meet With Brooklyn Civil Rights Group

After not one but two allegations of discrimination at the Barneys New York Madison Avenue flagship, Barneys CEO Mark Lee has agreed to meet with reps of Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network.

WWD reports that the National Action Network "plans to picket Barneys if the alleged pattern of racial profiling is not immediately rectified," which is what probably led to Lee's quick response about taking that meeting. Lee also posted a letter on the Barneys Facebook page (see below).
